The guard replied and hurriedly received the gift. However, he did not know what to say when they looked at each other.
Since the human heart wasn't here, there was no point in saying anything.
Chen Mu thanked her and dragged Feng Lingxi away.
Feng Ling Xi was still a bit unresigned, "You're leaving just like that? That Qin fellow obviously doesn't want to see you!"
"He doesn't want to see me, so I'm just asking for trouble if I go over there." Chen Mu Mu Mu spoke, his expression somewhat dispirited because of the series of events.
"I always thought that other than being crafty and treacherous, Qin Tiansei would be fine with everything else. I didn't expect him to be such a petty person." "If you don't want to see him, then don't want to see him. Chen Mu Mu Mu, in the future, we won't bother with him anymore. If he wants to cut off all ties, then just let him be."
Chen Mu Mu was a bit amused. Feng Lingxiu's opinion of Qin Tianshui was too great. Whenever she had the chance, she couldn't help but want to break off her friendship with Qin Tianshui.
However, Chen Mu Mu Mu didn't take the little girl's thoughts to heart. She only replied, "Perhaps it's because I said too much about him last time, but he hasn't yet dissipated his anger."
"A man is so small." Feng Lingxi scoffed and glanced at Chen Mu, but did not finish her words.
Even if he didn't say it, Chen Mu Mu Mu knew that it wasn't anything good.
He chuckled and shook his head before walking away.
"Where are you going?" With her sharp eyes, Feng Ling saw the direction she was heading in and suddenly grabbed Chen Mu Mu's arm.
"Let's go back to the restaurant." Chen Mu Mu replied as a matter of fact, "Since we haven't finished the proper tasks, we should head back to the restaurant. The restaurant is about to open, and there's still a lot of work to be done every day."
"I'm not going back." "It's rare to be out today, so I'll take you out for a stroll. It saves you from staying in the restaurant all day and almost getting sick from boredom."
Sick? Feng Lingxi really dared to think about it.
During this period of time, she had been busy as her feet never left the ground, so how could she have the time to be sick?
However, this was only an excuse. Feng Lingxi's goal was definitely not to enter her house.
Chen Mu Mu had the heart to reject Feng Ling Xian's suggestion, but Feng Ling Xi's tugging skill was extremely good. No matter how many methods she used, she couldn't pry open Feng Ling Xi's fingers.
"I've been busy these past few days, do you think it's enough for me to go shopping with you?" Feng Lingxi looked at her with a pitiful look on her face.
When Chen Mu thought about how Feng Lingxi had indeed been running back and forth for the sake of helping her restaurant during this period of time, a trace of guilt surfaced in her heart.
"Alright, I'll go shopping with you."
In any case, the restaurant was about to open and he had been busy these past few days with most of the things he needed to do, so he was pretty free today.
"I knew you were the best." With a smile on her face, Feng Ling Xi pulled Chen Mu Mu Mu and ran away as fast as she could.
Chen Mu Mu Mu staggered along with her, a strange feeling in his heart, "Didn't you say you were going shopping? "Why are you running so fast, I can't even keep up."
"Something good is happening on the other side of the street. We can see the excitement if we go there." As Feng Lingxi spoke, she ran even faster.
On the other side, Li King Mansion.
After Chen Mu Mu and Feng Ling Xi had left, the guard brought the gift Chen Mu Mu had brought back to the butler's side. On the way, he coincidentally met Grand Concubine Shen and Qin Mu Xu.
"Grand Imperial Concubine, Princess." The guard hurriedly bowed.
"What is that thing in your hand?" Grand Concubine Shen looked at the box and asked curiously.
"It's a gift from Lady Chen to the Prince." The guard answered truthfully.
"Lady Chen?" Grand Concubine Shen muttered to himself, his gaze becoming somewhat complicated, "Is that the woman that Li Er likes to pester?"
The guard nodded. "That's the girl."
"She did." Grand Concubine Shen opened the box and took a look, "It's precisely the Bella Cake that Li Er likes, it's still hot."
Qin Mu swallowed his saliva and stared at the box anxiously. "mother, Big Brother isn't here anyways, how about you give it to me to eat?"
"I only know how to eat." Grand Concubine Shen slapped Qin Muxu's forehead, and covered the box of pastries, "If you want to eat, mother will bring you to the Wang family's store to buy it. This was given to your brother by Lady Chen."
"He's not here, who knows when he'll return. By the time he does, everything will be broken." Qin Muyu pouted, "This thing is so fragrant. It's such a pity to waste it like that. It's better if you give me a taste of it. It's not like brother knows."
"Good girl." Grand Concubine Shen handed the box of pastries to the guard and smiled, "mother will bring you to the Wang family's shop to eat."
"Why can't I eat this?" Qin Muxu stared at the box of pastries, drool almost coming out of her mouth, as she could not even move a single step.
"Because …" Grand Concubine Shen's hand that was caressing Qin Muxu's head paused, a gentle smile flashed past his eyes, "Your brother likes to eat it."
"Tch." Do you think I can't see it? " Qin Muxu curled her lips, "It's your wish."
"Do you know why you're still greedy?" Grand Concubine Shen asked, amused.
"It's not that they're greedy, it's that they're impossible." Qin Muxu eagerly said, "So giving this pastry to brother will only make him sad, why not give it to me?"
"You damned girl!" Grand Concubine Shen scolded.
When it came to shopping, Feng Lingxi's running speed was so fast that it was as though she was opening a gate. Chen Mu Mu Mu was pulled by her to run three streets. She was so out of breath that she almost fainted, her legs turning soft.
Chen Mu Mu Mu wasn't someone who liked to mess with himself, so he held an old tree at the mouth of the alley, refusing to leave no matter what.
"We'll be there soon." Feng Ling Shi could not pull him away, and said with a helpless look on her face.
"Who would believe you." Chen Mu Mu glanced at her unhappily. "I've never seen you shopping like this before. If I were to follow you around blindly, I'd probably die of exhaustion before I could even reach the place."
"Some tiredness is worth it." Feng Lingxi came over and encouraged him with a smile, "That street is really fun. I promise you that you will definitely not regret going over."
Chen Mu Mu chuckled, but didn't say anything.
It would be strange if she trusted in the wisdom of the wind!
"Go then. It will be too late if you're too late. It's going to be very lively today." Seeing Chen Mu's indifferent expression, Feng Ling Xi asked anxiously.
"Too late?" Chen Mu Mu's thoughts stirred as he looked at Feng Lingxi, "Tell me honestly, what are you scheming?"
Feng Lingxi blinked and innocently said: "I'm not scheming anything. You're my friend, how could I possibly harm you?"
Chen Mu Mu's face darkened, "Feng Ling Xi, you know I hate people who lie."
Among friends, you still play such untamed tricks, and you still don't let others play properly.
"But …" Feng Ling Xi bit her lower lip, looking hesitant.
Chen Mu's expression was cold as he replied, "I won't force you. You can think about it more carefully. I loathe those who are trusted for deceiving others."
It was such a big hat, she couldn't even breathe.
The corner of Feng Lingxi's mouth twitched as she stopped struggling, "Alright, alright, it's not a big deal. Since you're already here, I'll tell you the truth. Today is the wedding day between Lu Jinfeng and the young miss of the Xu family, I want to bring you to see a show. "
So it was like that.
Chen Mu Mu felt a burst of powerlessness in his heart: "Young Miss Feng, you clearly know that I don't want to watch the show."
Fortunately she did not love Lu Jinfeng deeply, otherwise, Feng Lingxiu's actions would have been like sprinkling salt on her wound.
She clearly knew that her heart was in trouble, yet she still added fuel to the fire. This was simply too much!
"Let me finish." Seeing Chen Mu Mu's expression, Feng Lingxiu said in embarrassment, "After I finish speaking, you'll definitely be interested."
So magical?
The corner of Chen Mu's eyebrows twitched as he looked indifferently at Feng Lingxi.
Feng Lingxi laughed and said: "In fact, the son of the North King Palace and the Xu family's daughter have decided to marry each other. He is not going the normal way, and he has his own plans."
A marriage? Did he even need a way out?
Chen Mu Mu blinked and his ears pricked up unconsciously.
Seeing Chen Mu Mu's relaxed expression, she anxiously continued to speak: "Chen Mu Mu Mu, since you and Lu Jinfeng have been together for so long and you know that he is the eldest son of the North King Palace, then do you know that there is actually a curse regarding the eldest son of the North King Palace? The curse has been passed on from generation to generation, without end? "
Naturally, Chen Mu Mu Mu Mu knew of the terrible curse that could be cursed at any moment.
However, why did Feng Lingxi mention this all of a sudden? Could it be that when Lu Jinfeng went to fix the marriage, he was met with the Xu family's retort to make things difficult for him?
Thinking like this, Feng Lingxi also happily explained.
"That curse is too poisonous, especially for the eldest son, who is the eldest son of the direct family. The sins he suffers are not something an ordinary person can accept, so generally speaking, the eldest son of the North King Palace cannot marry a wife."
If he couldn't marry his wife, then how did the North King come about this?
Feng Ling Xi rolled his eyes at her: "You're so stupid. Your eldest son died young, but North King Palace doesn't only have one son!"
So that's the reason. Chen Mu Mu nodded his head.
If the eldest son of the North King Palace had died before his generation could do anything, then Lu Jinfeng, this eldest son, would indeed stand out like a crane in a flock of chickens.
"So, the Xu family is also a little depressed. They were betrothed to the North King Palace because they were betrothed to a prince, but who would have thought that the prince would also be their eldest son." Feng Lingxi laughed in schadenfreude, "There's nothing we can do, the Xu family can only marry their daughter to the eldest son of the North King Palace. This is the first time this has happened in the past thousands of years, and everyone in the capital is watching."
Chen Mu Mu was speechless. They were just here to watch the show.
However, even though Lu Jinfeng was the eldest son of the North King Palace, he was still handsome and healthy. He was completely different from the curses in the legends, so the Xu family shouldn't use curses to make things difficult for him right? At least she was from the clan, why did she poke at his scars like this …
Seemingly being able to see through Chen Mu Mu's thoughts, Feng Ling Xi laughed even more, "That's right, Lu Jinfeng is not at all like the legendary curse, but the curse of the North King Palace has been passed down for many generations, no one would dare to take such a risk."
"And then?" Chen Mu Mu Mu's curiosity was piqued.
"Then, the Xu family would ask the Imperial Advisor to give them a direction. After the Imperial Advisor asked the heavens for confirmation, he told the Xu family that as long as the eldest son of the North King's family goes around the capital twice in a circle to the Xu family, the so-called curse would have no effect on the young miss of the Xu family."
Are you trying to make things difficult for me?
Chen Mu scoffed, "A curse that can be broken after two rounds, does that require so many generations of damage?"
Yes, the people from the North King Palace were also suspicious, but the State Grandmaster said that the son of the North King Palace, Lu Jinfeng, had lived until now, and he is very different from the curses of the legends.
